UT-Tech football game moved to September

The sequel to one of last season’s greatest college football games will come earlier than expected.

Texas and Texas Tech will play in Austin on Sept. 19 to accommodate national TV. The game, which originally was scheduled for Nov. 7, will be broadcast on ABC in prime time. Last season, the Red Raiders beat then-No. 1 UT 39-33 in Lubbock by scoring a touchdown with one second left.

UT’s home game against Central Florida, previously scheduled for Sept. 19, will be moved to Nov. 7.

Also, UT and Texas A&M will play on Thanksgiving night for the second consecutive year. The Longhorns and Aggies will kick off at 7 p.m. on Nov. 26 in College Station.
